The Effectiveness of Army Music in Accomplishing the Army Public Affairs Mission: Survey of Neuroscience Literature, Review of Audience Member Emotional Comments About Joy, Pride and Patriotism【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.</p> <p>Army music units have historically conducted community engagement missions on behalf of Army Public Affairs to engender trust and confidence in the U.S. Army among U.S. citizens. Measuring the effectiveness of Army music in achieving that goal has, however, proven elusive. This study first shows through a survey of the existing neuroscientific literature dealing with the human brain's processing of music that music is the ideal medium for communicating these messages to the public. The study then offers a new model for a measure of effectiveness of Army music by examining a four-year collection of e-mail comments from audience members at The U.S. Army Field Band performances. Theses e-mails, of which 95 percent indicate positive or overwhelmingly positive reactions to the performances, demonstrate clear and powerful emotional reactions such as joy, pride, and patriotism. These emotional responses further show a link to the Army and to the Public Affairs mission of engendering trust and confidence in the U.S Army.</p> <p>CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION * Army Bands * CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW * Public Affairs * Emotions * Music as a Communications Medium * CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY * Limitations and Delimitations * CHAPTER 4 ANALYSIS * CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS * Recommendations for Further Study * Recommendations for the Army Music Field * APPENDIX A SELECTED E-MAILS * BIBLIOGRAPHY</p> <p>Recognizing the human element's effect on war, as posited by Clausewitz, in addition to realizing the impact of the ever-increasing flow of information brought about by rapid advancements in technology, the Army has placed growing emphasis on information operations (IO). The Army recognizes it must maintain a presence in the information domain to ensure that it has a voice in the broader public discourse throughout the range of military operations. An essential component of IO is public affairs (PA) activity, which fulfills the Army's obligation to "communicate with the American public." This communication requires honesty, forthrightness, and accuracy to ensure the continued trust of the American people. Field Manual (FM) 3-61, Public Affairs, includes community engagement activities within its definition of PA activities and acknowledges that they "help to establish conditions that lead to confidence in the Army and its readiness to conduct unified land operations." The Army requires the trust and confidence of the American people to remain relevant and effective; and while these things may begin as intellectual processes, they ultimately reside in the realm of emotions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 849円

The Instruments of Battle The Fighting Drummers and Buglers of the British Army from the Late 17th Century to the Present Day【電子書籍】[ James Tanner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"The hitherto forgotten story of the development of the regimental band, mainly drummers and buglers. A rare piece of social history" ( <em>Books Monthly</em>).</strong><br /> <em>The Instruments of Battle</em> examines in detail the development and role of the British Army's fighting drummers and buglers, from the time of the foundation of the army up to the present day. While their principal weapon of war was the drum and bugleーand the fifeーthese men and boys were not musicians as such, but fighting soldiers who took their place in the front line.<br /> The origins of the drum and bugle in the classical period and the later influence of Islamic armies are examined, leading to the arrival of the drum and fife in early Tudor England. The story proper picks up post-English Civil War. The drum's period of supremacy through much of the eighteenth-century army is surveyed, and certain myths as to its use are dispelled. The bugle rapidly superseded the drum for field use in the nineteenth centuryーuntil developments on the battlefield consigned these instruments largely to barrack life and the parade ground. But there are surprising examples of the use of the bugle in the field through both world wars as the story is brought up to modern day and the instruments' relegation to an almost exclusively ceremonial role.<br /> This is all set against a background of campaigns, battles, changing tactical methods, and the difficult processes of command and control on the battlefield. Interwoven is relevant comparison with other armies, particularly American and French. Stories of the drummers and buglers themselves provide social context to their place in the army.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円

Army Film and the Avant Garde Cinema and Experiment in the Czechoslovak Military【電子書籍】[ Alice Lovejoy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A history of the Czechoslovakian military's connection to some of the nation's most innovative and subversive cinema.</strong><br /> During the 1968 Prague Spring and the Soviet-led invasion and occupation that followed, Czechoslovakia's Army Film studio was responsible for some of the most politically subversive and aesthetically innovative films of the period. Although the studio is remembered primarily as a producer of propaganda and training films, some notable New Wave directors began their careers there, making films that considerably enrich the history of that movement. Alice Lovejoy examines the institutional and governmental roots of postwar Czechoslovak cinema and provides evidence that links the Army Film studio to Czechoslovakia's art cinema. By tracing the studio's unique institutional dimensions and production culture, Lovejoy explores the ways in which the "military avant-garde" engaged in dialogue with a range of global film practices and cultures.<br /> (The print version of the book includes a DVD featuring sixteenth short films produced by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense. The additional media files are not available on the eBook.)<br /> <strong>"Alice Lovejoy's revelatory study of the cinema culture wrought by the Czechoslovak Army Film studio is a cause for celebration among both cinephiles and media scholars. . . . Lovejoy's curatorial enterprise brings these fascinating films to us for fresh examination. Seeing these artful army films nearly half a century later opens our eyes to work that requires us to reassess what we thought we knew about documentary, new waves, and world cinema itself." ーDan Streible, New York University</strong><br /> <strong>"Lovejoy restores these sometimes funny, sometimes poignant and always innovative films to their proper place in film history, while explaining the unique cultural politics that allowed them to blossom beneath the noses of the Stalinist government." ーTom Gunning, University of Chicago</strong><br /> <strong>"Filled with surprises for readers who thought they knew their Czech film history, this insightful book refutes many received ideas about Eastern European cultural politics during the Cold War and sketches a complex and nuanced relationship between artists and the socialist state." ーRick Prelinger, UC Santa Cruz</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円

<p>Stemming from the tradition of rallying troops and frightening enemies, mounted bands played a unique and distinctive role in American military history. Their fascinating story within the U.S. Army unfolds in this latest book from noted music historian and former army musician Bruce P. Gleason.</p> <p><em>Sound the Trumpet, Beat the Drums</em> follows American horse-mounted bands from the nation's military infancy through its emergence as a world power during World War II and the corresponding shift from horse-powered to mechanized cavalry.

The Italian Army and the First World War (Armies of the Great War)

タランストア
◆商品名:The Italian Army and the First World War (Armies of the Great War)This is a major new account of the role and performance of the Italian army during the First World War. Drawing from original, archival research, it tells the story of the army's bitter three-year struggle in the mountains of Northern Italy, including the eleven bloody battles of the Isonzo, the near-catastrophic defeat at Caporetto in 1917 and the successful, but still controversial defeat of the Austro-Hungarian army at Vittorio Veneto on the eve of the Armistice. Setting military events within a broader context, the book explores pre-war Italian military culture and the interactions between domestic politics, economics and society. In a unique study of an unjustly neglected facet of the war, John Gooch illustrates how General Luigi Cadorna, a brutal disciplinarian, drove the army to the edge of collapse, and how his successor, general Armando Diaz, rebuilt it and led the Italians to their greatest victory in modern times. 7,163円
